. >> you know, the traditional medicines of china for 3,000 years, the ayurvedic medicine of india, and the tribal shamanic medicines of all cultures around the world have always taken for granted that mind and body can't be separated. now, western medicine has cleaved the two apart for, really, 2,000 years. socrates already criticized the doctors of his day for separating the mind from the body. and the irony in fact, the tragedy is that now we have the western science that shows, incontrovertibly and in great detail, that mind and body can't be separated, and so that any attempt to do so leaves the medical practitioner short of many tools to help clients. and, of course, it leaves patients short of what they need for their own healing. the point now is that the emotional centers of the brain, which regulate our behaviors and our responses and our reactions, are physiologically connected with and we know exactly how they're connected with the immune system, the nervous system and the hormonal apparatus. in fact, it's no longer possible, scientifically, to speak of these as separate sys

china is its population. they have 1.5 billion people. that is why their emissions are high. if you look at the average emission per chinese, it is not very high, maybe 5 tons of carbon dioxide, compared to the united states, which is about 20. china is still very much a developing country. their average per capita income is $5,000. they have just escaped from being a low middle-income country. so we are looking at a huge population and that is why the total emission are large. if you look at india, is even worse. the poverty in india is still very bad. to pick on countries like india and china and say, unless they act, the united states will not act, this is a very poor excuse. it is picking on an issue that is not relevant. of course, it is true, in the future, india, china, malaysia, we need to take massive actions in order to prevent the large expansion of carbon dioxide, but it is only an excuse to demonize china. china is still a competitor to the united states. >> i want to play a clip of an environmen

the chinese did that in southern china. many places around the world have had malaria problems-- brazil-- that they've brought under control. not so in africa. eradication efforts are erratic. yellow fever is another mosquito-transmitted virus that the french encountered when they occupied west africa. so the way the french dealt with this was to conduct an ongoing every-four-year campaign to vaccinate every person in every country they occupied. they had groups of doctors and nurses--that's all they did. they just went from village to village on this four year cycle. that way, the most that could happen is you'd have a group of susceptible children, but it would never get very big before you'd be through vaccinating the next time around. that way, they kept yellow fever under control. now, when those countries became independent, there wasn't money for those programs. and i got introduced to yellow fever in africa because, in 1965... some seven or eight years after senegal got its independence, there was a big epidemic of

we should be talking about rebuilding america's infrastructure, china has gone ahead with high-speed trains and massive investment in infrastructure. instead, we're back to the same old arguments about taxes and spending without really looking at what we're spending. we just passed the national defense authorization act the other day, another $560 billion just for one year for the war machine. so we're focused on whether or not we will cut domestic programs now? are you kidding me? >> congressman, the recent election was seen by many as a mandate from the electorate to finally be able to tax the wealthiest americans, to deal with some of the deficit. your sense of whether president obama and your fellow democrats in the senate and house will stay the course on this or will eventually compromise in a way that many progressives would regret? >> first of all, we have a divided government. president obama's election said one message, the election of republican house of representatives since another. the actually, working at odds here. you have republicans who will not raise taxes for any
